I am a teacher
It is my uncompromising commitment
To duty to motivate
I am a child
It is my uncompromising commitment
To duty to obey
I am a parent
It is my uncompromising commitment
To encourage
I am the government
It is my uncompromising commitment
To duty to offer clean leadership
I am a citizen
It is my uncompromising commitment
To duty to be responsible
Judge me kindly by the honest
Truth I say now
Judge me harshly if later I am found
To have disheartened
Their true hopes and
Their just aspirations
Let the law be merciless
If I make myself guilty of
Mutiny for I will not only
Shame my parents but
I will put the future of my
Country at grave risk somehow
